If the bees are kept in a hive, they build their comb onto frames and fill the comb with honey. An extractor is used to get the honey out of the comb.

They also use harmless smoke on the bees so they stay out of the way and don't sting the beekeepers.

Why are bees eating their own honey?
Bees eat their own honey because that's what they live off of throughout the year, especially during colder months when there are little or no blooming plants for the bees to collect the nectar for the hive. To better understand this, we need to know exactly what a hive is, and I think once you understand what a hive is, the rest will make sense. From the dictionary a hive is a place "to store or lay away for future use or enjoyment." That being said, that is what bees do. They store wax and honey for lean months. As a beekeeper, we take the comb from the hive from time to time to extract the honey for our own use. When we do this, the bees naturally continue to make wax, honey, and propolis. They don't realize that the comb is full of honey is gone, they just know that there is an empty space that they need to create more wax and honey in. When fall comes, the beekeeper, if he is managing his hive properly, will leave in the hive as many combs full of honey to sustain them through the bees winter months. That's why bees eat their own honey.

Do honey bees go in the ground looking for nesting material?
No, honey bees produce wax for constructing their nests much like spiders produce their webs. Honey bees have a gland that produces a wax flake or scale that is then molded into the honey comb. Bees also use a matterial called propolis that is produced from the sap and resin of trees and is chewed by the worker bees into a paste that is used to seal up and weather proof the hive. When it dries it is very hard and strong. Propolis is also water proof.
